It has spots for 50 ft + putts. At what point do people typically consider the transition between an upshot and putt? I have typically considered everything outside of 30 feet to not count as putts and count instead like when you chip it in from just outside the green in ball golf.

I find that I will frequently use a putting motion (without actually making a run at the basket) for approach shots in dangerous situations like on a hill or close to OB. The shot is in no way intended to go in.
